Davit2005 Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 Only needs to power a HP ML115 G5, HP MicroServer, AirPort Extreme and a HP 1800-24G for a very short time. Only needs to be good enough for monetary power outages. We keep having short power outages of less than 1 second, 2 last night within 5-10 mins, don't think it is doing my DC's much good. Happen about once a month. I like the APC range from experience :-). Looking at a Back-UPS Pro range, prob a 550.
mjs_mjs Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 I would like to that that any managed UPS (with link to shut ur server down before it dies) would be suited for say 5-20mins extended run time. maybe (i cannot endorse from experience) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trust-1300VA-Management-UPS-PW-4130M/dp/B0012RW21A/ref=dp_cp_ob_computers_title_3 1

dhicks Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 Looking at a Back-UPS Pro range, prob a 550. I have a Back-UPS ES 700, which provides battery backup for a server and switch and filtered power for a bunch of other stuff. It's never given me any trouble in the five years or so I've had it.

Good question - I could imagine you can script them as a 'shutdown script' which would be run only when a shutdown was invoked, not sure to tell you the truth.
